Compare a drill bit to the valve cover bolts, go one size under, drill them out, wedge something in the hole you make and carefully unscrew the remainder. This just mite be smart enough to work

Just be careful and stay in the middle of the broken bolts so you dont hit the screws walls.:goodjob:

Drill them out and re tap the holes. Better make sure to get someone with some experience to do this for you.
